[winmine0327]

i was expecting 'popcorn' for some reason

[BookRixUSA]

This is so cool! Such a creative way to use books!

[2l28DRAIN]

At 0:10 I was about to start singing Mad World.

[hailloki]

so that was nice. what sort of sequencer is that, i wonder (out loud on the internet)?

[AlanTellesMP]

the more creative use of a sequencer!

[BEllsmaker]

good work!!

[lovedexter2]

Look at the light,which has the serie of sounds.

It's so cool.

[susan2david]

that is grat, wehat a grat beat!

[Me1pucca]

books are more than just text, they are now musical too.

[0masas0]

cool!



[singingsavage]

drumline!

[ahyanchan]

Oh, this is the use of o'reilly....

[df6977]

And I thought that those were just for reading...Now I see the err of my ways

[TheMusketITuckedIt]

Some people have WAY too much time on their hands.

[kiitiit0w]

@TheMusketITuckedIt you just are jealous!

[requiquog]

Is that Art of Noise's Beat Box?

[wonbanana]

So apparently this was accomplished by soaking the books in a sugar solution to create a hard surface. Did I quantum leap into an other dimension because I'm pretty sure hard cover books already exist.

[khttran]

@wonbanana i believe the thickness of the books matter so if you were to put hard covers on all of them, they they'd all sound the same. the tone depends on the thickness, not just a hard cover.

[adamhcru2008]

Way too cool! @joellawson

[wufwugy0]

This was awesome!

[HeidenkindHideaway]

Finally! A use for all those books.

[Steelfrogmedia]

There's a photo in the link under the video. From what I can read, it says "Miditap My #1 Knock" but I couldn't find the product anywhere. TinEye returned no results.

[mattzog]

@Steelfrogmedia I had the same experience. Tho, I thought it said Miditap Knock MT 01. I left a comment. If they tell me anything, I'll let y'all know.

[BlackH3Lic0pt3r]

Why don't you guys utilise your creative energy to, say, create a real Gundam or something? I mean, this is interesting, it's fun to watch, ... but that's about it ;-)

[s4yum1]

@BlackH3Lic0pt3r Because, if you are capable of creating things like this, then the creator must have greater possibilities to develop something useful in the future. The creator must know mechanics, electricity, programming, AND harmonics, among others, to create this piece of art.

[gazwg]

love it! had to be o'reilly books too ;-)

[officaldandeacon]

does anyone know what that orange device on the left is, the midi controlled power outlets?

[spikemugen22]

@officaldandeacon d-...d-...d-d-dan deacon??

[Lenaxia]

@officaldandeacon I'm also interested in what that is.

[mattzog]

Another bump for @officaldandeacon 's request to know what that device is. If it is what it appears to be, then I have the synthesizer enthusiast's equivalent of a massive boner.

[edz0nk]

@officaldandeacon It's called "Knock!". Seen here: /watch?v=JLbBEDNws60

[shoelaces79]

Why is it in a cage? Why do they have a cage so big?

[myaccountagain]

@shoelaces79 Maybe it's a patio, not a cage?

[MrLMDB]

Superbe, bravo ...



[Potatonaught]

friggin awsome

[sbeilin]

love it!

[wblstudios]

That was kinda cool.

[zerosonico]

本楽！

[nikoExportman]

 音はどんな醜いがらくたからでもでる、それを音と聞くか雑音と聞­くかは本人次第だな。

[arua004x]

本当に良い音鳴っててﾜﾛﾀ

[BennyFourStrings]

HOW DO YOU MAKE THIS STUFF UP?!?!?!?!?!?!??

[LOVE0KISS0LOVE]

この使い方は思いつかなかった！！！

[TheThievingBeggars]

Haha! Amazing!!!
